I'm the proud owner of both the red and blue version (and yellow to boot), but it's been so long since i got them in the first place, that I've played with all 3(4) starters...


Edit: Whoops! Didn't see that it's for the DS, sorry... Played mine on the Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket and finally Gameboy Color (Pikachu Edition).

Not that I'm an expert, but I think it's even more than that...


Edit: Wiki says 1996, so 13 years... Man, I feel old.

Charmander ftw. With every generation, originality faded more and more.

And yeah, the 1st 2 gyms were a ***** when you chose Charmander, making Beedrill the most devestating thing I could throw at Brock, but I felt all the more bad ass when I beat them.

Still, my favorite accomplishment was when I navigated my way through Dark Cave without bothering to learn "flash"

Red: Charmander (Fire Type)
Gold: Cyndaquil (Fire Type)
Ruby: Torchic (Fire Type)
Platinum: Chimchar (Fire Type)

Seeing a pattern here? It's that they all rock and you know it

Also, since we're discussing it, the 2nd generation was, in my opinion, the best, since it was the last generation before the Pokemon designs began to go down the pan.

Bulbasaur for most playthroughs of first gen, simply because the first three gyms are piss easy as long as you get him to level 13 so he learns Vine Whip by that time.

Slaughters Brock and Misty, and that Surge guy's attacks do little damage to bulbasaur.

I hated Pokemon Yellow though... Brock was so awkward if you didn't know you could get a Mankey from the Elite 4 route before you fight him...

I've never played the first gen. I usually start the games over once I get bored and experiment w/ the other types. The first time I play, I choose the fire-type. Always. Can't go wrong with a good fire-type.

Gen 1: Charmander all the way (as said before: He's a f*ckin' dragon!)
usually I'd play yellow though, in which case I'd use a butterfree on Brock (it learns confusion at level 10.)

Gen 2: Didn't play it much, but I think I went for cyindaquil.

Gen 3: Mud! Kip! Mud! Kip! etc.

Gen 4: hardly played (except briefly on a rom, but I quickly got bored.) I think I used Piplup.

to tell the truth never played the third generation much at all, apart from when i needed to trade pokemon to pal park and also get the coloured flutes!
